<p><strong>About</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">NOTE: This theme is still in beta!</span></strong></p>
<p>Internal, first-order administrative boundaries and polygons for all but a few tiny countries. Includes name attributes (including diacritical marks), name variants, and some statistical codes (FIPS, ISO, HASC).</p>
<p>Looking for Cyrillic or Chinese characters? The <strong>GeoDB format</strong> preserves local scripts better than SHP format.</p>
<p><em>Admin-0 units that lack admin-1:</em></p>
<p>Antarctica, some disputed areas, tiny island nations, and principalities such as Monaco, Andorra, Liechtenstein, and San Marino.</p>
<p><strong>How-to</strong></p>
<p>Use the following selection statement to derive this theme from the 10m lakes:</p>
<p>&#8220;ScaleRank&#8221; <=2

Then punch those selected features through the admin-1 and save result as a new feature class.

<strong>Issues</strong></p>
<p>This is the toughest dataset to keep current. Unlike the United States, other countries constantly rearrange their admin-1 units, slicing and combining them on a regular basis.</p>
<p>We need help making sure our statistical codes are correct if they are present and about half the dataset needs them added, still.</p>
<p>Just a few admin-1 units lack a name. For names we are unsure about, those are flagged as an attribute.</p>
<p>A separate version should be created for &#8220;region&#8221; groupings of admin-1. Many countries, like France, include top level regions and departments, both as admin-1 ranking. If we only have their &#8220;region&#8221; admin-1, the department version needs to be digitized.</p>
<p><em>Boundaries should perfectly match the following NEV themes:</em></p>
<p>Coastline, lake shoreline, admin-0 country boundary, river and lake centerlines.</p>
<p>Some boundaries in Brazil, north Africa, and central Asia do not have enough data points on straight line segments. This is a concern when reprojecting the data. This is planned to be corrected in a 1.1 update.</p>
